3 Weeks Already!

Well, our little Guinevere is 3 weeks old today! We went to the doctor on Friday to see how much she was growing and if everything else was ok with her. So, two weeks ago at the docs she weighed 7.3 lbs and was 20 inches..... Well, little Guinevere is now 8 lbs 7 ozs and 21 inches! So she's a growing girl! Everything else is well with her otherwise, as well as with the rest of the family! That's it for now though, our sweet girl is wanting some attention!

Dearest Guinevere

Well, it has been a week and a half and our happy little family is doing well! Gwen, so far, has been a happy baby with only a few minor break downs throughout the day - nothing that we can't manage though. At her first well-baby appointment, little Gwen hadn't lost anymore weight since the hospital (she initially lost 9 oz the first night, which is normal) and the pediatrician said that she was perfect in every way, but we already knew that though! Well, I'll try to get on in a week or so and give another update - until then feel free to check back and we'll try to post some more pictures as Gwen keeps growing and doing all the cute things she does!

The Baby is Born

Hello All,
Guinevere Elise Borawski was born May 4th, 2008 at 9:05pm, after 42 hours of Labor. I'm sorry to keep you all on edge. She is a beautiful 7lb 12oz baby. She's got 10 fingers and 10 toes, and a full head of hair. Laura pushed for 5 hours to bring this baby into the world. When she was born it was an event at the hospital. Doctors, nurses, and interns gathered round and packed the delivery room to see this mother with amazing stamina fight to the end to bring Gwen(Guin) into the world.

Today is the day!

At 3:03am Laura woke me up to tell me that she thought her water had broke. It sure did! We've been up ever since. Laura's contractions are about a minute long and about 6-7 minutes apart. We'll start heading to the hospital when they are 3 minutes apart (counted from beginning to beginning).
Laura says that they are pretty intense now. She has to stop what she is doing try to relax when they come. She isn't talking through them any more. I don't know if there is wi-fi at the hospital, if there is, I will get baby pictures up as soon as I can.
Also, please don't call us this morning. I know you want to, and want to wish us well, but we really need to relax and get Laura through this. We will send notice to everyone when it is time.
Thank you for all of your love and support.

40 weeks and .....

Well, yesterday was officially my due date! But, there's nothing going on in there other than the crazy movements the baby gives me on a daily basis. So, yes, I am a little disappointed, but I only want what is best for the baby and it can stay in there til it's ready. My appointment on Wednesday ended up being a lot of drama. I went in there really excited and nervous, so my blood pressure was a little high; well, my midwife didn't like that, so she stuck me on the fetal monitor to see how the baby was doing. Well, little Crazy was sleeping, as usual for mid afternoon, but the midwife didn't except that and had to wake the poor thing up - well, she got good results after that! But, it the process of waking the baby up she determined that I was 0 cm dilated and 0% effaced, which means that my body hasn't even starting to "ripen" to the idea of having this child any time soon :-( But, she did say that there isn't a lot of fluid in there, so baby doesn't have a lot of room to move or grow - so it shouldn't be too much longer until this little person graces our presence. We'll keep updating as I have more appointments or the baby comes!
